I thought I would throw some parts on the frame just for fun. Santa brought me a wiring harness, clutch disks, a lock ring for the rear brake drum and the control rods for the foot clutch and the shifter. I ordered tires and tubes today from Coker Tire. Hope to have the rear hub finished in the next couple days. I can take the hubs and rims up to McRobertsand have them laced up.

Anybody recognize this? A friend bought it at a flea market recently. It is one piece cast and is very heavy. Drafting weight maybe?
Answer: My supervisor at work was a draftsman working on the board back in the 80s. He remembers seeing these used as drafting weights as I thought. The question remains, who styled them and who cast them?
